AMERICA MUST HOLD ON TO
HAWAII

We publish in to-day's paper an
editorial article from the New York
"Herald" Of August 4th, touching
the relationship of these islands to
the United States. This article is
of special interest to our readers
and the people of this country, as
representing 1--WE have good reason
for believing) the view and policy
of the Government at Washington.
Intelligent and impartial readers, of
whatever nationality, domiciled in
this kingdom, must admit that the
United States is bound by wise
craftsmanship, at all hazards, to
maintain firm hold of this country,
and when our independence termi-
mates our alliance must be to the
United States. Not only is it plain
10 see tnat tnlS is the inevitable
policy of Washington towards Ha-
wall, but it is also clear that when
we can no longer stand alone our
interest will be secured by annex
alton to the United States, and not
to any other country. And although
we, editorially, strongly object to
the establishment of an Independent
republic here under any circum-
stances, yet we should hail with
pleasure Hawaii's becoming a part
of the Great Republic Of America,
when the proper time arrives.

Government Loan.

Notice is hereby given, that appli-
cation for any portion of the New
Loan, up to 100000, will now be
received at the Hawaiian Treasury.
The bonds to be issued under the
authority of the Acts approved on
1st nf September. 1894 and 18th nf
October, 1886, and bear interest at 6
per cent per annum, payable semi
annually, and are exempt from all
Government taxes whatsoever.

Some day the Texas train rob-
bers will attempt to rob friends of
the road and they will be discharg-
ed.-N. o. Picayune.
The baby believes in the motto,
"a place for everything and every
thing in its place." and her place
for everything is her mouth.
An advertisement reads, "Boys
vacation suits" That is not strange,
however. A boys vacation always
does suit.-Pittsburg Chronicle.

known to the maritime Powers that
the independence Of Hawaii, 50 far
as they are concerned, and its de-
pendence on the United States must
be accepted and respected. This is
so obvious that we cannot doubt that
Mr.. Bayard has been instructed to
announce the Monroe doctrine on
the Pacific with as firm tone as
Mr.. Adams announced it to South
American and Central American
nationalities sixty years ago.
While we claim our rights in the
Pacific we must accept our respon-
sibilities. Recent events in Hawaii
make 1t necessary for us to consider
the duty of drawing the Sandwich
Islands towards the United States
by ties more tangible than those ex-
listing. We have reciprocity, and
we do not care for annexation so
long as our protectorate is not me-
naced. But we must always re-
member that Hawaii is the Ameri-
can Malta, and to be defended as
resolutely as Pitt defended the NAL
ia of the Mediterranean. To make
this duty easier we should lay
cable between San Francisco and
Honolulu Private enterprise may
do it, but If that should hesitate we
have a surplus in the Treasury
which keeps our statesmen in a state
Of anxiety to know how to spend it.
A fraction of that surplus would
give us another strand in the ties
which must forever bind the Sand
witch Islands to the United States.
This is question OF craftsmanship,
not politics-something that does
not belong to party, but to higher
and purer range of discussion-and
behind it lie other duties, which
sooner or later must come, in the
development of that splendid des-
tiny to which we have been appoint
ed by Providence. The contempla-
ton of this destiny may well employ
the higher faculties of thinkers and
statesmen. They must look to the
day when "CiUis Americdnus sum"
will be the password in Australian
seas; when representatives from
Australia, the Sandwich Islands,
Japan and those fair islands and
archipelagoes which are only known
10 MS in romance and adventure,
lowered by an all-fruitful sun and
washed by teeming, temperate seas,
must take part with us in that COM
ing Parliament whose deliberations
will sway the destinies of mankind.
We owe the protection of Hawaii
the Strengthening of the links which
bind her to the Republicans our
immediate contribution to the mag
nificent career awaiting the Anglo
Saxon race. TO throw it away, to
shrink from the duties which it i'm
pIies-duties incumbent to-day and
not for to-morrow-would be as
foolish as it would have been for
Jefferson to throw away our trans
Mississippi empire when the chance
for obtaining it came with the rup-
ture of the Treaty of Amiens.
Much is said to Mr.. Cleveland
about following the policy of Jack
son in the dismissal of tidewaiters
and excisemen. We shall be con-
tent if he follows the policy of Jeff
erson, policy which without firing
a single gun in anger gave us an en-

CIVIL SERVICE BILL WANTED.

Among the laws of this country is
an Army and Navy Bill, and we
have no need of either Army or
Navy, which makes the cost of
maintaining the apology for each
that we have a foolish and wasteful
expenditure. But we have no Civil
Service Bill, and this is something
we need. A measure of this nature
is not one of the least important
matters to bring before the next
regular session of the Legislature.
The Board of Education has
adopted a rule which has the force
of law, for regulating entrance into
its service; and will, no doubt, In
time establish regulations regarding
promotions, dismissals, etc. All
other departments of the Govern
ment are without any regulations
whatever. Dismissals and appoint
ments are simply regulated by the
will of Ministers, Boards, or Heads
of Departments. An old and faith
full servant may be turned out with

EEIToR BULLETN:-In your Sat-
urday's issue appeared report of
the proceedings at the old Armory
of the reunion of the Geo. de Long
Post, which | would like to correct.
What the programme originally was

the most appropriate, in fact, the
toast par excellence of the evening,
''the President Of the United States"
preceded, as is customary, only by
the usual toast of the King, was left
out. Why was this? Surely it was
not done wilfully, and if an omis-
sion, although inexcusable under
these circumstances, should at least
demand an apology to our American
guests, the officers of the U. S, war
hips, and especially our American
Minister, who was also present.

delayed by the physical indisposi-
ton Of the editor; and even now we
are not in position to say much in
addition to what little was said the
other day. The ex-Secretary is
reticent and says that he knows
nothing beyond the fact that he was
dismissed and his successor appoint
ed, and that no reason was given to
him for the Boards action. Mem
bers of the Board are also reticent.
One goes so far as TO assert that
there was no fault to be found with
the Secretary. In most free coun-
tries Board meetings are held with
open doors, and their transactions
are public. Here the gentlemen
appointed to transact the public
business prefer to do things in
secret, and when they decline to
take the people into their confidence
1t is fair to assume that there is
something in their proceedings of
which they have cause to be
ashamed, and we certainly think
there is something about this action
of the Board which will not bear the
light. We believe the fact is, that
the change was forced on the Board
by a clique arrangement outside,
and that majority of its members
did not in heart appreciate the die
tation nor approve the action. If
we are mistaken, we shall be glad to
be corrected, and be ready to apollo
gize if we have wronged anyone.
The end of this matter has not been
reached yet.

AN ERROR CORRECTED.

1t is little surprising that the
"Elele" should have erred so widely
in its Saturday issue, regarding the
English portion of the Honolulu
press in its relationship to Ameri-
cans and American interests. The
editor must have forgotten that Mr..
H. NJ. Whitney, the oldest journal
ist in this country and managing
proprietor of one of the oldest pa
pers, the "Weekly Gazette" is an
American. 1t is true, that the press
of Honolulu has been mostly con-
trolled by Britishers for the last ten
or fifteen years past. But it has
never during that period been dis
tinctively or mainly British in its
leanings and tendencies. Just the
contrary. If anything but Hawaiian,
it has been American. The British
ers who have controlled or conduct
ed the Honolulu press have had
sense enough to see and recognise
that Hawaii depends more on the
United States than all other coun-
tries combined, and that if Hawaii
ceases to be independent Hawaii, it
must inevitably gravitate to the
States, and therefore they have al
ways given special prominence 10
American interests and matters.
The "Daily Hawaiian" the profess
sedly American paper, was never
more American than the "Weekly
Gazette" has been a long series of
years, and not half so American as
the "P. c. Advertiser" under its
late editor, a Britisher. II all the
three Honolulu papers were owned
and edited by Americans they could
scarcely be more American in their
tendencies than they now are, unless
the "Elele" wishes Hawaii dropped
out entirely.

BOARD OF HEALTH.

Some days ago allusion was made
in these columns to the dismissal of
Mr.. Roche from the secretaryship
of the Board of Health, and the APP
pointment of Mr.. Ashley in his
place. Since then many enquiries
have reached us, verbally and by
letter, respecting the cause or causes
of the change, and unqualified dis
satisfaction with the Boards action
has been expressed by many ardent
friends and strong supporters of the
Government. We had hoped to
have had come explanation Of the
matter ere this from what the CON-
munity regards as the Government
organ, the "Hawaiian Gazette :"
but that jealous defender of every
thing connected with the new order
of things, whether right or wrong,
legal or illegal, and imputor of sinis-
ter motives to any and all who have
the audacity to express contrary
opinion, has maintained perfect
silence. To be sure, it is a very
insignificant matter, and the gener.
al public probably do not care two
beans who is Secretary of the Board
of Health, provided the incumbent
is respectable, honest, efficient, and
gentlemanly in his intercourse with
those who have dea lings with that
of Government. But an
principle is involved,
which does concern the general
public, and quite an influential por-
ton thereof has shown that it Is in
terested. Enquiry on our part was

nor auaplapluty put III MS Place,
just because the appointing power
so wills it. Thus we have seen an
efficient Collector-General Of Gus
toms and a competent Registrar of
Public Accounts suddenly COM
manded to get up and leave; for
the unanswerable reason, that they
were not Sin accord" Their expe-
rience, their efficiency, their atten-
ton to duty, and their faithfulness
to the service availed nothing in
their behalf. But their being sup
posed to harbor a few little insight
fcant thoughts of their own, which
did not exactly dove-tail with the
views of their superiors, cost them
their official heads. Others in other
positions were kicked out in the
same summary manner, and were
often succeeded by men no more fit
for the places than a pig to preside
at piano. This we saw under the
old regime, and the respectable of
the community raised o unanimous
cry of disapproval, which had as
much effect on the arrogant autho-
rites as policeman's whistle on a
stone wall.
How is the service affected by
the new order of things? 1t is too
soon to decide yet. Several dis
missals have taken place, for which
it is believed there was sufficient
cause; but so far as we know, in no
case has the accused been allowed
an opportunity of speaking in his
own defence before his discharge.
The other week the Secretary of
the Board of Health was uncere-
moniously dismissed, without any
cause assigned, by the new Board
at its first meeting. He was strongly
endorsed by the retiring Board as
an efficient secretary and a cour-
teous gentleman, all of which he is.
This may be the first, to be fol-
lowed by others. If rumor speaks
truly, it is so. But rumor is not
always reliable. We will wait and
see.
At all events, this is not salts
factory condition of things. No =,
Minister, or Board, or Chief of
Department should have the power
to discharge capable, tried, and
trustworthy public servant, at will
and without sufficient cause, to
make room for a friend, or a
friends friend, or someone who has
been very useful politically. 1t is
unjust to the men who have done
their duty and detrimental to the
service. 1t creates uncertainty in
the minds of the employees, and
furnishes them a strong temptation
to make as much as possible out of
their billets, not knowing the day
nor the hour they may be without
employment.
The proper and the only remedy
for the evil is a Civil Service Bill.
This bill should specify the qualifl-
cations for admission into the SER
vice, and might copy largely from
the petition sent to us for publica-
ton last week by "Veritas No. g."
1t should also provide for dismissal
from the service, allowing no one to
be discharged without the option of
a fair and impartial trial before
properly constituted court. We be-
lieye that nothing short of some
such bill will ever make the public
service Of this country such as every
patriotic citizen desires it should be.
